The Rogues

Incredibly
talented Celtic group. Were able to
play all requested Irish music at the event on the spot. Great energy.
Two days after the event and everyone is still talking about how
impressed they were with the music.

Great
music, fun entertainment!

I recently hired The Rogues for a reception and
they were great! Responded quickly, had options for costumes and very
organized. The crowd enjoyed the music and was even up dancing! I would
highly recommend The Rogues and can't wait to hire them again in the
future!
